Each of these posts have been accompanied by an image, a romantic fruit bowl bought by the guardian as a Valentine’s gift. A bed in a new flat with one double bed to be share with the father, and a few others that followed the same pattern but I have forgotten the post. These posts also seem to delete.

Any ideas the hell is going on with this?

    I know, normally the racist trolls do it for the engagement, not to immediately delete upon getting pushback. It’s odd, this is entirely different.

      Yea troll posting can be fairly obvious. I’m wondering if this is some sort of dog whistle or maybe someone using the platform for some kind of acceptance and tbh most replies to these posts aren’t in the negative.

        the posts & comments on .world’s and lemm.ee’s conservative communities use same oddly diplomatic wording as well, so i’ve been attributing it to conservative trolls making multiple accounts for the day they’re banned somewhere.

          Conservatives don’t often show up on new communities with blatant conservatism. Instead, they try their best to integrate into the culture then slowly turn things rightward. Hell, that’s what happened to Reddit too.

            agreed and i think it’s the clearest indicator of the reddit-like nature of both of those instances.
